I want to introduce a new shop my partner and I recently opened together.
For a few years I had been buying my buttons from another amazing Etsy Shop. But when my Partner suggested we make some of our own, I knew deep down I wanted to try!
Let me tell you there was a learning curve to working with reclaimed wood, but once we got some details sorted out I knew we were on to something really amazing!
This also became an activity we did together! Tom and I are both avid Gardeners. He loves wood work too. I also enjoy finishing things, I am not so into the power tools! I cut a lot of the buttons, he sands and drills and then we sit a finish them with Orange Oil and Bees Wax or a new finish we made ourselves from Local Bees wax and Coconut Oil! Both are fantastic!

There is something so enchanting about watching wood come to life, finding the patterns, spalting, rings and markings that makes each one unique.
